My Skincare Routine and products!!

My skin has never been completely clear I always get spots and i hate it. I'm 23 and my skin is still like a teenagers!!!! ughhhh!!!! Ive been using the Thalgo skin care products and Nivea for a while now and they are defiantly helping. Sometimes I slip up and use face wipes which is really bad for your skin but if it's really late they are just handy, but i would avoid using them because they make your skin dry out.

Thalgo products:
  • Cocooning cleansing milk- which is a make up remover, its for dry/sensitive skin. I just use a blob on a cotton disk to remove my make up. My skin always feels so soft after i use it. I use this twice daily.
  • Cocooning tonic lotion- This is used after the cleansing milk it helps to tighten pores and remover any excess make up. I use this twice daily aswell.
  • Softness exfoliator- I use the exfoliator once a week. My skin always feels so smooth after it and it looks better. It removes any dead skin building up on your skin. 
 Nivea products:
  • Daily essentials extra gentle eye make up remover- because your eyes are sensitive and the skin around them is so delicate you don't want to use anything harsh on them. I use this because its so mild, I just use it with a cotton disk to remove my mascara. Its the only product Ive used that hasn't made my eyes sting!!
  • Soft moisturising cream- I love this moisturiser its so light on my skin and it absorbs so quickly, I use this twice a day. Its amazing!!

 My skincare routine!!
  • First I use the Nivea eye make remover with a couple cotton disks and press the disks onto my eyes and leave for a minute. Then i gently wipe off the mascara, I don't ever rub my eyes because i don't want to get wrinkles lol.
  • I use the cocooning cleansing milk after with cotton disks to remove any make up on my face and neck, I never use it on my eyes.
  • After i use the toner to close my pores and remove any cleansing milk or make up left on my skin. I always let it dry.
  • Then i use my Nivea moisturiser to hydrate my skin.
  • I do this routine twice a day, before I put my make up on and when i take it off in the evening.
  • Then once a week I use the exfoliator maybe twice depending on how bad my skin gets!!
Tips:
  • Never use soap to wash your face, it removes the protective layer off your skin leaving it open for bacteria to get in and it drys it out.
  • Try to avoid using face wipes as they remove all the moisture from your skin and dry it out as well.
  • Use a eye make remover and avoid rubbing your eyes.
  • Exfoliate once a week to help rejuvenate your skin.
  • Find a good moisturiser that suits your skin type and use it twice a day. If you can find one with an SPF in.
Some products I find amazing are from the Dermalogica range, they have products for every skin type. They can be a bit expensive sometimes but they are defiantly worth it!!
